ABSTRACT

We are embodied creatures and by proxy, so is our research and the topics, subjects, and experiences we study. Trauma, and injury to the body have been explored by psychologists as embodied experiences, particularly the role of the body in the recovery process and as part of the potential trajectory for psychological growth. This chapter will therefore aim to situate the area of posttraumatic growth from an embodied perspective and within a sporting context. The chapter will first review the concept of embodiment, moving on to focus on corporeal elements of posttraumatic growth and situate this within sporting populations who have experienced significant trauma and injury. Finally, the chapter will offer readers suggestions for engaging in more embodied posttraumatic growth research within sport and trauma populations.
